The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 91 Report—A powerful enemy is attacking the Meridian Gate!

Forbidden City, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The hall is magnificent and golden, with towering dragon pillars and a majestic aura.

Cixi sat upright on the dragon throne, dressed in gorgeous court robes and surrounded by pearls and jade, looking majestic and noble.

She had deep eyes and a calm face, revealing a kind of aura of majesty without anger. Beside her stood several favored palace maids and eunuchs, who served her cautiously, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Surrounding him were several fair-faced eunuchs who were serving as messengers, as well as strong guards with swords.

Below, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides according to their ranks, and all of them were silent with solemn expressions.

Outside the palace were three thousand mighty soldiers in silver armor, one thousand palace guards with solemn faces, and five hundred musketeers standing upright.

At this time, the atmosphere around the Hall of Supreme Harmony was solemn and solemn.

An old man dressed in the uniform of a guard leader hurried into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, came to the stone steps in front of the dragon throne, knelt on one knee and reported:

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Nalan Yuande and everyone in his house have all fallen into a coma. The imperial physician diagnosed that they were under a spell of bewitching and will not wake up in a short time."

Cixi frowned and murmured in a low voice: "The art of bewitching..." Things were becoming more and more mysterious, even the so-called art of bewitching was involved.

She would not have believed it before, but the damage caused by the thief at night was too unbelievable. After repeated investigations and confirmations, she realized that there really were strong men in the world who could defeat thousands of troops alone, so she began to believe in this so-called soul-bewitching technique...

After believing it, a trace of fear inevitably emerged in my heart.

If such a strong man attempted to assassinate her, could this seemingly safe imperial palace ensure her safety?
The civil and military officials standing on both sides looked puzzled and exchanged glances with each other.

Today's grand court meeting left them somewhat confused.

Assassinations have happened before, and the Empress Dowager has never made such a big fuss.

Such a large-scale mobilization of troops around the capital had far-reaching consequences.

Especially in this operation, countless foreigners died... The situation, which was originally barely maintaining stability, is likely to undergo major changes.

It is foreseeable that war is not far away.

stomping on...

Outside the palace, the sound of hurried horse hooves was approaching rapidly.

Soon, an old soldier wearing armor and with one arm missing rushed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a panic, leaving a trail of blood along the way. As soon as he entered the hall, he reported in a trembling voice: "Report - a powerful enemy is attacking the Meridian Gate!"

He staggered all the way to the throne and knelt on one knee. Without waiting for Cixi to ask, he said urgently: "He is hard to be hurt by swords and knives. Even the power of muskets cannot hurt him at all. The guards have been killed or injured in order to stop him! Please, Queen Dowager, send troops to help as soon as possible!"

wow——

As soon as the words fell, the civil and military officials standing on both sides were instantly in an uproar. Except for a few people, the rest all had a look of disbelief on their faces.

At the front of the civil officials, an old man with a stern face stepped out and shouted angrily with an expression of uncontrollable anger: "Absurd! Such words of deception from ghosts and gods are actually being openly spoken in the court. It is really ridiculous!"

Having said this, he came to the throne with an angry look on his face, knelt on his knees, and shouted solemnly: "I request your permission to severely punish this person to serve as a warning to others!"

Without waiting for other officials to echo, Cixi stood up from the dragon throne and waved her hand. She slowly walked to the old general and asked solemnly, "Come here, are you wearing a Taoist robe?"

The veteran in front of her was a veteran of many battles, and there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed around the Meridian Gate. Even under such circumstances, there were still three thousand casualties. The only person she could think of was the assassin in Taoist robes from last night.

The old general raised his head, nodded seriously and said, "The man is dressed like a Taoist priest, and judging from his age, he should be in his twenties. Although he is young, his strength is so great that thousands of troops can be easily defeated and ten thousand troops can be unstoppable." At this point, his pale face was solemn and serious, "Empress Dowager, please send a large army to support the Meridian Gate immediately. If they break through the palace wall defense, the consequences will be disastrous! I and the soldiers will die, but we are afraid..."

He did not dare to say the disrespectful words that followed. He could only look at the Queen Mother earnestly, hoping that she could make the wisest decision as soon as possible.

"Is he alone?"

"Your Majesty, the other party is indeed alone and has no other accomplices."

"Heh... just the courage of a common man." Cixi sneered, feeling relieved inexplicably. Such a reckless and brainless person, no matter how strong he was, would never amount to anything.

This opportunity is very rare now, she must find a way to surround and kill him, otherwise she will not be able to rest in peace.

He turned around and sat on the dragon chair, with a stern face, he issued orders one after another: "Order all the generals in the city to lead the army to rush to the palace as soon as possible. Make sure to cut off all the enemy's retreat routes and make arrangements to surround and kill them. Order all the generals in the palace to rush to the Meridian Gate as soon as possible, and do their best to resist the enemy's footsteps to buy time for the army in the city. Order..."

At the end, in order to prevent future troubles, he slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted, "Tell all the generals that whoever captures and kills the enemy will be granted the title of prince!"

She will not be able to sleep or eat well if the enemy is not killed. Such a strong man is too threatening and must be killed.

wow——

Now, no one in the hall could remain calm anymore, even the few people who knew the inside story.

"The Queen Mother! ..."

Cixi flicked her sleeves and shouted, "You don't need to say anything more, just follow my orders immediately."

"Here!"

The eunuchs who were delivering orders all around bowed in unison, then hurriedly walked out of the hall. After a while, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard, which quickly faded away until it disappeared completely.

In the military attaché queue, everyone was breathing rapidly and their eyes were filled with heat.

The title of Prince...is enough to ensure the prosperity of the family for generations.

One by one, the usually low-key generals stepped out from the crowd with fiery expressions, knelt on one knee and asked for orders:

"I beg your permission..."

"I beg your permission..."

"I beg your permission..."

……

Cixi glanced at the generals who had come out of the crowd, nodded and approved: "It is approved... Whoever of you can capture and kill the enemy, the title of prince will be his." After that, she waved her hand, closed her eyes, and relieved her mental fatigue.

The generals knelt on one knee, with expressions of ecstasy on their faces, and kowtowed to express their gratitude. They stood up and left in a hurry, fearing that they would be late and be overtaken by others.

A group of civil servants looked at each other and wanted to persuade her, but seeing that Cixi was resting with her eyes closed on the dragon throne, no one dared to persuade her any more.

Many officials were extremely puzzled. They really couldn't understand why there was such a big fuss over just an assassin.
The most ridiculous thing is that he actually promised a prince title.

The officials were speechless and could only wait there helplessly. This matter could only be persuaded later. Saying more at this time would only cause trouble.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into an eerie silence again.
